[hylafax-users] HylaFAX 6.0 beta

[Aidan Van Dyk]

The first beta of HylaFAX 6.0 is available. It contains lots of new
development and features that have accumulated in CVS for the past year since
HylaFAX 4.4 was branched off for stable maintenance.

HylaFAX 6.0 introduces several new features for HylaFAX, building on the strong
history of innovation:
* PCL Support
* hfaxd can sort list output (like sendq) arbitrarily for clients
* I18n: HylaFAX client strings are now translated and available in
different languages
* IPv6 support
* New permissions in hfaxd to allow for more admin control on who can
see/modify jobs/faxes (see PublicJobQ/JobProtection/PublicRecvQ)
* Powerful page range handling capabilities
* Better faxq/notify integration
as well as many improvements to the T.30 protocol code.

The one notable change if you're upgrading from HylaFAX 4.4 or older is that
the old protocol is no longer supported. This will only affect you if you've
been using a client that uses the old protocol and hasn't been updated to use
the normal FTP-style HylaFAX protocol.

The full set of release notes is a browesable:
http://git.hylafax.org/HylaFAX?a=blob;f=doc/RELEASENOTES-CVS.txt;hb=master
